Anitkabir

The mausoleum of the founder of the Turkish Republic, Ataturk,
is a revered monument in the city, accessed by a wide avenue lined
with lion statues, drawing Turks from all over the country who come
to pay their respects to their hero. It is also a fascinating
attraction for visitors to Ankara, its stark, but imposing
colonnaded aspect giving onto a courtyard, which contains a museum.
The ceiling of the main hall is decorated with beautiful gold leaf
mosaics, and there are plenty of reliefs and statuary to be
admired.
